Watch out for the 2009 V8V Stratus White - Gelnview Luxury
They described the car as clean Carfax, check the Carfax and it's got an accident report at 17,000 miles, driver front. Called them on it, gave me the "could have been a scratch, no towing report, we've checked it over" BS. I replied with you can't say any car has a clean report with an accident damage alert. Mine didn't need to be towed and I have a $63,000 repair estimate.
With cars on the uptrend, buyers need to do your due diligence.

Everything is up. They appraised my car at $72,470 with 44,000 miles, and judging the way the did they appraisal it's on the conservative side.
Makes me wonder if they finally hit the bottom of the depreciation curve and the current car shortage accelerated their upward momentum.

Wow! I had been talking to someone at Glenview about this exact car. I really appreciate the warning. What is really frustrating is that they sent an Autocheck report with a vehicle history that starts at 29,000 miles and states no issues (attached for reference). That is pretty clearly misleading. I think the car, without damage, is about 25% over what it should be but that isn't inconsistent with the used car market right now unfortunately.

That's actually a good price for a M6 coupe in this market, except it's a very high price for a wrecked car with no supporting data of what the damage actually was. Bottom line is they know it's in the Carfax and claim the Carfax report is clean and only give you the Autocheck report to hide it. I wouldn't buy anything from this place, ever.

I'm local and stopped in this dealership to view a different car, and they mentioned they had a Manual V8 Vantage. Not what I stopped in to see, but I was really interested. Glad I spent the next 3 hours reading about Vantages and found this forum. My excitement died pretty quickly over this car, but perhaps its the spark to lead me to my first AM purchase.
